Tho Perfect Way to Roast Meat.

Mrs E. P. Ewing, of the School of Domes-
tic Economy, Iowa Agricultural college. dis
courses upon the roasting of meats Of all
kinds as follows: The method adopted
should he the one that in the most perfect
manner preserves all the juices inside the
meat. To roast beef in the best possible
manner: Place the clean cut side of the meat
upon q smoking hot pan, which must be over
a quick fire. Press it close to the pan until
scared and slightly brown. Reverse and let
the opposite side become similarly scared and
brown. Then put it at once in the oven, the
heat of which should be firm and steady, but
not too intense, and leave it undisturbed
until cooked. The time that should be al
lowed for cooking beef in this manner is
twenty minutes to the pound, if it is to be
rare, less half an hour, deducted from the
aggregate time on account of soaring. In
other words, five pound roast of beef will
require about an hour and a quarter, six
pound roast an hour and half, and so on.
II the oven is not too hot, the meet requires
no basting, and is better without it.

How to Avoid Heat.

During these hot days persons who have
much walking to do can avoid the heat
very nicely by arranging their perambu-
lations according to the shade of the
streets. If there is much travelling east
and west to be done, select the forenoon,
when the south side Of the street is al
ways in the shade. Walking on streets
which run north and south can be done
safely in the afternoon. This advice is
given for the benefit of those who are in
danger of sunstgoke, but are ashamed to
-ea,ry sn.. ee~ BY ucureftR use Of
the shady side pf streets a person need
not be inNthe sunshine long enough to
hurt him in the least. The recommends
ton given above applies to streets in gen.
eral. Of course if a person, q bill col
lector, has to go along both sides of
street, he may have to change the time I
spoke of; for instance, take the north or
the east side in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

How to Sweep without Dust.

is not necessary to send it over all the walls

damp tea leaves, moistened cornnleal or braa

Tea leaves are excellent, but if it is feared

either Of the other things may be used. Salt
is a favorite with many because it seems to
brighten the colors. 1t must, however, be
swept out very thoroughly and not used too
often; for after frequent use moisture may be
observed on the carpet on damp days, an
unpleasant odor will be perceptible in the
room, and the carpet will be damp to the
touch. This is caused Ivy salt that accumu-
lntes in the carpet.

eyes in the shape of letter V; on the
front part of his head was pair of sharp
crooked claws or forceps, which stood
horizontally, and which, when not in
use, are hidden from view in little cases
beautifully adapted for their reception,
and in which they fold up like a clasp
knife, and remain there between two
rows of teeth. The outer skin is hard,

extend warm reception. He is remark

he provides for himself, his family and

THE iSUSPENED CLAUSE,

| A correspondent writing to the New York
Herald on the Inject of the suspension, by the
inter state commission of the long and short
| haul clause, makes this inquiry:
| If the inter state commerce commission ers
| can suspend the long and short haul clause for
three onths in favor of one set of carriers pc
| fore investigation, can they not 90 the same
thing In vor of another set or of all other cor
| porations? If so, can they not completely an
null the operation of the secti n for the time be-
ing? Did Congress give them this vast power:
! SHIPPER,
To the two first questions the Herald answers
yes, to the second no, and then proceeds to say
that what the commissioners have done in the
case OF the southern railways they may do with
! equal right in the case of any other railways
| This policy might be carried to such
an extent as to amount to a general
anaulment of the fourth section of the
law. "But we think that the commissioners ex
ceeded their powers in ordering the suspension
in favor of the southern roads. 1t was not the
intention Of Congress that the long and short
haul clause should be suspended except in
special cases, and then only after investigation.
On this point the law is ex Jlicit and free from
doubt. The SUSPENSION just ordered by the
commission is more general than special, and
II was ordered before instead of after an inves-
tigatiOn. If the question were put to judicial
test we believe that the suspension would be
held unauthorized and unwarranted, and con-
sequently that the rates of the southern roads
under consideration are now unlawful in spite of
the action of the commission."- Houston Post,
The Post, much to its credit, would
rather be right than rich. Under the
precedent established by the commission,
in excepting certain southern railways
from the operati on of the long. and short
haul clause, why could not there be such
suspension of the clause as would tend
to throw all the jobbing business of
Texas into the hands of men at Houston
and Galveston?

THE methods of the inquisition are not
utterly forgotten in this the nineteenth
century. Not long since the murderer
Unger WAS confronted with the CHASTITY
evidence of his crime. The blood stained
trunk and other accessories to his crime
were arranged with dramatic effect until
the tortured soul could bear no more and
plead to have these removed and that he
be allowed to make full confession. a
similar result was obtained in Burlington,
VT, by Withholding morphine from vic
tim of the habit until mania followed.
The drug being given her again, she. con-
fessed theft OF $4,000 and told where
the box containing stocks and bonds was
to be found. In both cases the confess
sions were true, but under physical and
mental torture almost any kind of evil
dence might be obtained, and the limo
cent be made to suffer, as well as the
guilty brought to light.
